Who uses the UWF 110 and for what
The Bernardo UWF 110 is a universal milling machine with a unique feature: a 360° swiveling universal head on a single ISO 40 spindle. Unlike other UWF models (90, 95 N) which have a fixed dual spindle (vertical + horizontal), the UWF 110 has a single spindle with full orientation: it allows any angle (vertical, horizontal, inclined) by rotating the head to the desired position. Operational advantage: maximum flexibility for machining with complex angles or non-standard angles (e.g., 30°, 60°, etc. milling). Trade-off compared to the dual spindle: changing orientation requires setup time (rotating the head, re-clamping). For workshops that frequently alternate only vertical and horizontal, the dual spindle is faster; for workshops with various angles, the 360° universal head is more flexible. The polished oil-bath gears are a high-end feature: superior smoothness and many years of durability. The 400 mm Z-travel is the highest in the mid-range UWF: it handles tall workpieces without repositioning. In Krollit customer workshops, it is chosen by precision mechanical workshops, prototyping laboratories with complex geometries, and specialized productions on parts with multiple non-standard angles.
Its place in the Bernardo range
The UWF 110 is the Bernardo universal milling machine with a 360° swiveling head (an exclusive feature in the UWF range). Alongside it in the mid-range: UWF 90 V, UWF 90-1270, UWF 95 N (all with fixed dual spindles). Above it: UWF 150 (top of the range, ISO 50, 4 kW motors, 1,650×360 mm table). The key difference between UWF 110 and UWF 90/95: different machining philosophy. UWF 90/95 with dual spindles are optimized for quick changes between vertical and horizontal (repetitive standard machining); UWF 110 with a 360° head is optimized for multiple angles (prototyping and complex geometry machining). The UWF 110 table (1,120×260 mm) is intermediate between UWF 90 (1,270×280) and UWF 80 E (1,000×240): a size consistent with the mid-range. For workshops choosing between UWF 95 N and UWF 110, the choice depends on the type of machining: large standard parts → UWF 95 N; medium parts with angles → UWF 110.
Logistics and Krollit support

Frequently Asked Questions
What does '360° universal head' mean?
The spindle head can rotate 360° around the longitudinal axis: the operator can position the milling cutter in any orientation (vertical, horizontal, inclined at any angle). It is functionally equivalent to the dual spindle of other UWF models, but with greater flexibility.
UWF models with dual spindles only have 2 possible orientations (vertical 90° and horizontal 0°). The UWF 110 with a 360° head allows any angle (15°, 30°, 45°, 60°, etc.). The advantage is noticeable on parts with non-standard angle milling. The trade-off is the orientation change time (rotating the head, clamping it), which is longer than the spindle change on UWF 90/95 models.
Can I use the UWF 110 as a vertical-only milling machine?
Yes. The universal head can be locked in the vertical position for continuous vertical use. In that use, the machine behaves like a standard vertical milling machine.
For workshops that primarily work vertically but occasionally require angles, the UWF 110 is correctly sized. For workshops that always work only vertically, a standard vertical milling machine may be more economical and ergonomic. The UWF 110 repays its complexity only if the 360° adjustability is used regularly.
Are 11 speed steps few compared to the 8 steps of the UWF 90?
There are 11 steps in addition to (vs 8+12 on the UWF 90). The UWF 110 has a single spindle with 11 steps covering the 45-1,660 rpm range continuously. The UWF 90 has 8 steps for vertical + 12 for horizontal, but these are different spindles.
For practical use, the difference is small: 11 steps adequately cover the range. The optimal speed for each tool-material combination is rarely exactly one of the predefined values, regardless of the number of steps. For fine optimization, consider the UWF 80 E Vario with inverter (continuous speed).
Can I do tapping (internal threading) with the UWF 110?
Yes, with appropriate taps and accessories. The spindle rotation is reversible: an essential feature for extracting the tap from the threaded hole.
For precision tapping, the use of specific self-reversing tapping chucks, available as accessories, is recommended. The UWF 110 with a universal head is particularly suitable for tapping on parts with complex geometries: the 360° adjustability allows the tap to be positioned at the angle required by the design.
Is the 400 mm Z-travel really the highest in the mid-range?
Yes. UWF 90 V and UWF 90-1270 have 300 mm Z-travel, UWF 80 E has 320 mm, UWF 95 N has 400 mm (same as UWF 110), UWF 150 has 390 mm. The UWF 110 and UWF 95 N share the most extended Z-travel in the UWF mid-range.
The 400 mm Z-travel allows machining on tall workpieces without repositioning. For workpieces over 400 mm in height, multiple pass planing or machines with greater travels are needed. For most standard machining, 400 mm is sufficient.
